WASHINGTON WOMEN'S VIGIL
A continuous vigil is planned by women on the steps of
the national Capitol, October 6-9 to demonstrate their
support for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment
for Women. Eighty-three Senators co-sponsored the
amendment, but now that the amendment has passed the
House of Representatives, many are withdrawing their
support. Congress is expected to adjourn soon for the
November elections. The amendment will probably not
have another chance.
Write, telegram, or telephone your support for the
amendment to your Senators.
The Honorable Ralph Yarborough
The Honorable John Tower
Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
A bill to strengthen the powers of the Equal Opportunities Commission is expected to reach the House floor
for a vote6 The bill, which has passed the Senate,
would provide the Commission with "cease and desist"
powers against companies who are failing to comply
with the Equal Opportunities Act. In the past the
Commission has had only powers of conciliation with
no power to force an employer to cease illegal employment actions.
Write, telegram, or telephone your support for the bill
to your Congressman.
The Honorable Bob Eckhart
The Honorable Bob Casey
The Honorable George Bush
Sam Raybum Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
